    Hi there, my name is Leo and run a studio on the westside of Norway where I do music and video stuff for youtube. I also have a band called Frog Leap, where we do my metal covers live.
    For my covers I play everything myself as well as record, mix, master, shoot and edit the music & videos.

      Leo's had plenty of fun in the past with percussion, and it was the same with Power and the Passion, using fire extinguishers and lamp shades. And Leo belting out the chorus would be f*#king epic.
      And King of the Mountain? Well, he's in Norway, I imagine he could have fun getting some aerial footage to go along with the title of the song.

We were smack right in the centre, front row, right in front of Peter Garrett. It was the most amazing experience and I really couldn't be happier than I was at that concert because all the other bands of my mother's inherited taste from the 70s and 80s are all either dead or no longer together. Technically I've been to two of their concerts, but the first one I was still a baby in my mum's belly. She really liked this cover, man.

    Not many people know the "beds are burning" line comes from when the English settlers would burn the aboriginal villages in Australia to take their scared children and reeducate them in missions, and then follow their adult groups to the next water source and repeat in order to navigate through Australia and take their land from them. Midnight Oil made this song to talk about how it was Australia’s turn to give back to the native aboriginal peoples. White Australia’s treatment of its Aboriginal population had been terrible throughout much of its history, but Midnight Oil believed that reparation and forgiveness were possible. The chorus' lyrics refer to the white people of Australia, as to how can they sat and do nothing while the aboriginal people of Australia suffered and lived in squalor with no basic necessities or a say in anything, so in that case, how could they sleep while the people that were born to this land were being ignored and their beliefs tarnished.
    Even more than a decade after releasing this song, when they played it in the 2000 Olympics closing ceremony in Sidney, they decided to do it dressed completely in black with the word "sorry" written over it, because then Prime Minister John Howard was still refusing to offer an apology to the native inhabitants on behalf of Australia. As a crowd of over 100,000 stood in support of Midnight Oil's performance, as Prime Minister Howard remained seated, the band realized they were delivering a message far beyond their five-man outfit: "It wasn't Midnight Oil's gesture," Oils vocalist Peter Garrett recalled in 2016. "It was really a gesture for everybody who felt that way." As an Olympics volunteer later expressed, «most people in that stadium had paid over $1000 a ticket, or got them through high powered corporate jobs, meaning the stadium was full of conservative voters supporting the refusal to say sorry - or were they...? Everyone in that stadium seemed to know the words & be singing along & supporting "the time has come to say fair's fair, to pay the rent now, to pay our share".»
    I don't know if Leo kows about this (but the all-black video gives me ahint) or he just wanted to send a message about allowing wrongdoing in general, but props to him either way.

Most of their most recent albums are about Finnish mythology (not strictly history, but you know what I mean). Also, try Powerwolf and, of course, Iron Maiden has made a lot of great history lessons (like "Alexander the Great", "Passchendale", "Afraid to Shoot Strangers", "Aces High"...). Then you have Turisas: "The Varagian Way" is a conceptual album about Norsemen trading all the way to the Byzantine Empire and most of their songs have a historical setting, like "Rex Regi Rebellis" or "Venetoi! -Prasinoi!". Iced Earth made a whole album dedicated to American History ("The Glorious Burden").

Allows me to appreciate, a lot of non-English music. Norse, pagan, Finnish, Bollymetal (yes, good stuff), etc. Have you checked out The HU? Now that's Mongolian tradition and history at it's finest. Videos explain what words canno. Plus you can Google translations. All these genres, and sub-genres add such a rich and expansive dimension for those who love music for more than what it is, too! it's life breath for me. Try some Bornholm, Heilung, Manegar, Osi and the Jupiter, for starters. Then seek out "similar to… " on your downloader of choice. I'll try yours, if you try mine, lol!! Have fun!

      I like his solos and how they deviate from the song a lot. They are rarely directly based on the song at hand but somehow I get it. I think he just lets himself be inspired by the song and without thinking too much about it jams out what comes into his mind. It feels like however far he deviates there still is some connection.

    well if there's one thing I never, ever expected it was to see the Oils covered.
    For those wandering, Midnight Oil are Australian hard rock legends, and the song is about Native Title and the historical and ongoing mistreatment of Aboriginal Australians, who until 1992 were not considered to have any land title rights at all. This was bad even by normal British Standards, where native peoples were usually considered to have some form of native title, leading to things like American Indian reserves/treaties and the Maori Treaty (of course the colonisers just broke the treaties and stole the land anyway). Australia, however, was considered Terra Nullius until 1992 and Aboriginal Australians had absolutely no claim to any land, despite living here for roughly 60,000 years before white settlement.
